4/16am groundhog

 E12 gets a private feeding by dad so precious.E10 did get food earlier this morning around 611 am from Bella. That’s why he didn’t need any later.

 Bella floats in with something small.JPG


626 am E12 working the fish; learning to self feed. Pretty good at 3 weeks of age.



Bella fed E10 leftover fish a good portion from 611 to 624 am Afterwards Mom exits the nest and E12 attempts self feeding again. Doing pretty good for just three 

Recap of one feeding this morning. 722 to 746 am - Scout fed E11 & E12


722 am Scout in with an UFO unable to identify it. E12 moves over to the leftover fish and wants to be fed. Scout takes the fish and starts to feed E12, E11 is standing by waiting to get in on the feeding. Interesting E10 remains seated not interested in eating perhaps has to cast a pellet. E11 is being fed too. Both eaglets are cautious of the other they do not want to get bonked down. 735 am E10 moves a stick; still not interested in eating. E11 and E12 are still eating. 736 am E10 does some wing flaps nearly tips over; pin feathers are really coming in now so those wings are under going heavy growth. 739 am Dad grabs the prey meal he brought in earlier and is prepping it and feeding it to E10 and E11. 744 am E10 moves over to the feeding then moves away again. Looked like she had a couple crop drops but she had her back to us so the view was not great. E10 moves back toward the egg cup. E11 and E12 are still being fed. 746 am Scout moves up to the top of the LOP feeding is over. E11 has huge crop. Cute interaction between E11 and E12 a stare down of admiration perhaps haha. 749 am E12 has a poop shoot.

925 am Bella arrives; small feeding follows. 925 to 930 am. Out to work; hagd all! Prayers for fish aplenty at this nest today!
